The twice I've done this, once was a hot water heater (yeah, I know,
you don't have to heat hot water). Other was a trailer furnace.
In both cases, I had to loosen the bleeder screw on the pump. Looks
like a bleeder on a brake on a car, probably for good reason. Set the
furnace for heat, push the red reset button, and catch the air and oil
mix in a metal can until the fluid runs clear. Close the bleeder, and
the furnace now runs. Go out back, and pour the fuel oil and air mix
back into the tank.

Someone asked me today what would happen if they ran out of fuel oil.
I
have no idea.
I assume the pickup is a few inches off the bottom so it doesn't suck
up
crud. What's involved in restarting it once the tank is replenished?
It's a
20 yr old furnace that's going to be replaced with a gas furnace. They
don't want to add fuel needlessly for obvious reasons.
Thanks,
Al...
